“Rumi says, Fall in love in such a way that it frees you from any connecting. That”
― Rumi, The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”
― Rumi, The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing

“The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along. MORNING”
― Rumi, The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing

“This is now. Now is. Don’t postpone till then. Spend the spark of iron on stone. Sit at the head of the table. Dip your spoon in the bowl. Seat yourself next to your joy and have your awakened soul pour wine. Branches in the spring wind, easy dance of jasmine and cypress. Cloth for green robes has been cut from pure absence. You’re the tailor, settled among his shop goods, quietly sewing.”
― Rumi, The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing
